Genes affected
BRCA1 (HGNC:1100): (BRCA1 DNA repair associated) This gene encodes a 190 kD nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The BRCA1 gene contains 22 exons spanning about 110 kb of DNA. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). This gene product associates with RNA polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks, and recombination. Mutations in this gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing plays a role in modulating the subcellular localization and physiological function of this gene. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which are disease-associated mutations, have been described for this gene, but the full-length natures of only some of these variants has been described. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 17, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.302-5T>C alters a non-conserved nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Consensus agreement among computation tools predicts no significant impact on normal splicing. In addition, the variant was shown to have no impact on splicing based on patient mRNA (Leman_2018, Gelli_2019). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.2e-07 in 1601684 control chromosomes (gnomAD v4.1). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. A variant, described with the legacy name as c.421-5C>T (expected: T>C), has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with ovarian cancer (Manguoglu_2010), however no supportive evidence for causality was provided. This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30832263, 29750258, 21156238). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230861). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
